Abstract


This Study aimed to know the students’ mathematical literacy skills in answering PISA-type mathematics problem in Kontes Literasi Matematika (Mathematics Literacy Contest) which is held in Manado. The method is descriptive analysis, i.e. by analyzing the students' answers of the given PISA-type mathematics problems. The results of the students' answers are analyzed based on the scores and the assessment rubrics, so that the data in this study is the test results. The obtained results are: there are 89.5% of top-class students, 69.6% of the middle-class students, and 33% of lower-class students who are able to solve problems on reproduction competency, and there are 74.6% of top-class students, 49.4% of middle-class students, and 4.3% of lower-class students are able to solve problems on the connection competency. As for the competency of reflection, there are 57% of top-class students, 15.1% of middle-class students, and 1.5% of lower-class students who are able to solve problems in this competency. These results suggest that students' mathematical literacy skill is low.
